Chapter 127 Sparks and Lightning Along the Way
Banxia subconsciously moved a few steps to the left and hid under the shadow of a big tree. The thick trunk of the birch tree blocked her view. The girl stood there in a daze for two seconds. Fear, panic and confusion rolled up from the bottom of her heart like a tide. Cold sweat broke out and immediately soaked the clothes on the back.
"BG, I saw it."
"It's on the roof."
"But I don't know if it found me."
Bai Yang broke out in a cold sweat.
"Emergency, a Category I contact has occurred! Attention everyone, a Category I contact has occurred!" Lao Zhao warned in the channel, "Operation canceled, activate the emergency plan."
After a few seconds, Banxia came to her senses hiding behind a big tree. She quietly leaned out and looked towards the roof of the Xinbai Building.
The dark red eye was gone.
The girl's heart skipped a beat.
"BG... I think it might have spotted me..."
"Then what are you still standing there for? Hide! Hide quickly!" Bai Yang almost yelled at Shoumi. He took off his headphones and threw them on the table, then turned around and shouted, "Dad! Come and take over from me!"
After shouting, he grabbed his coat, pushed the chair away and ran out. Lian Qiao, who was leaning against the door frame, was faster than him and had already gone out when Bai Yang shouted.
Lao Bai rushed into the bedroom and took Bai Yang's place.
"Attention BG4MSR, this is Daddy, taking over the communications from now on, OVER."
"Everyone, please pay attention. A Class I contact has occurred. Activate emergency plan number one." Zhao Bowen turned his head to look at Bai Yang and pressed the intercom. "We are sending people to the scene. All units, please pay attention. Sound the red alert!"
"Group One received. Switch to emergency plan number one. Turn two holes and enter the three-track change procedure. Enter pseudo-synchronous orbit. Mid-sky altitude 81°. Data distribution from Purple Mountain Communication Center. Dual redundant backup in Guizhou and Beijing. Over!"
"Team Two received, switching to emergency plan No. 1, swordsman behavior prediction model is being synchronized, relative coordinates have been established, blind spot routes are being screened, over!"
"Group Three received. Switch to emergency plan number one. All members of the emergency support team enter level one combat readiness status. Over."
"This is the air control center of Liuhe Ma'an Airport. The helicopter has been warmed up and is ready to take off."
In just one minute, the Dongfanghong Project team changed the purpose of the operation from reaching the first base to bringing the girl back safely.
Amid the constant stream of replies, Bai Yang hurried through the living room without even having time to change his shoes. He ran downstairs in his slippers, and as soon as he walked out of the unit door, he was dazzled by the glaring headlights coming from the opposite side and couldn't open his eyes.
The dull roar of the three-cylinder engine was heard under the night sky, as if a wild beast was lurking in the green belt.
Bai Yang was stunned.
The beast slowly revealed its true appearance, as if a fire was burning, the light from the street lamps flowed along the smooth curves, and there were two fierce headlights under the transparent windshield. What a deep red... three-wheeled Mazda.
The Mazda stopped in front of Bai Yang. Lian Qiao sat in the driver's seat, wearing a crimson helmet on her head. A pair of sharp eyes were revealed behind the goggles. She threw a black helmet to Bai Yang and gave him a thumbs up:
Get in the car!

"Where did you get this?"
"You mean this B-bike? I borrowed it from a kind person."
Lian Qiao drove Bai Yang out of the gate of Meihua Villa and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom after turning the corner. Before Bai Yang could react, she was staggered by the sudden acceleration. The Mazda was speeding on Alfalfa Garden Street at a lightning speed. The electric tricycle gave her the impression of a super sports car. Bai Yang was sitting in the back seat wearing a black helmet and had to hold on to the seat tightly with her hands to stabilize herself.
"Command! Can you locate us?"
Lian Qiao yelled.
"This is the command center. We can locate you." The command center replied in the headset, "You are still four kilometers away from Nantu. You are expected to arrive in ten minutes. But please be aware that there is traffic congestion at the two intersections of Minggu Palace Road. It may delay you by four minutes."
"Got it! I'll try to shorten the time to less than ten minutes!"
Lian Qiao looked straight ahead. Alfalfa Garden Street had come to an end. She stepped on the brake with one foot and the accelerator with the other, turning the front of the car to the left! With a sharp piercing sound, the tricycle tilted and took off from the ground.
“Oh my god—!”
Bai Yang roared.
The Mazda swung its tail like a dragon and flew from Alfalfa Garden Street to Zhongshanmen Street. The tires rubbed against the asphalt road and smoke was emitted. Baiyang could even smell the burning smell.
Passersby probably have never seen a Mazda running so desperately. I don't know if its rear end is on fire or it is going to put out a fire somewhere, but it is honking the horn while running.
Soon Lian Qiao saw the convoy stuck on the road. It was not yet eight o'clock in the evening, which was the rush hour after get off work and the traffic in the city was congested. There were traffic lights and zebra crossings at the intersections on both sides of the Ming Palace. If you drive through there, you will have to wait for a while, but Lian Qiao can't wait.
"Cars! Watch out for cars!"
Bai Yang reminded Lian Qiao from behind that there was a car parked ahead, but Lian Qiao did not slow down at all.
She looked like she was about to ram head-on into the back of the car in front of her.
"Relax, your sister is the double champion of the world electric tricycle and electric wheelchair cross-country rally!"
Lian Qiao turned the front of the car and the Mazda went straight onto the sidewalk. It hit the curb and almost fractured Bai Yang's coccyx. The latter howled, but before he could curse, he saw the green belt, lamp posts, steps and pedestrians in front of him rushing towards him. The pain for his coccyx immediately turned into worry for his life. They rushed forward on the sidewalk, their style was even wilder than that of Lao Tou Le. The car owners who were stuck in traffic on the avenue could only watch a red Mazda pass by on the sidewalk, with its headlights and double flashes on, and the horn blaring loudly.
With sparks and lightning all the way, this sister's driving style is really jaw-dropping.
"red light!"
Bai Yang reminded again.
"Don't worry, this car has no license plate!"
Lian Qiao spoke through gritted teeth.
The Mazda swung past the red light in a very swaggering manner.
"Where are we?"
"Panda Building!" Bai Yang caught a glimpse of two buildings passing by quickly outside the car window, "We have passed Yixian Bridge!"
"How far is it?"
"Less than a kilometer!" Bai Yang replied, "Two minutes!"
Lian Qiao stepped on the accelerator again, and the engine roared under his butt.
With a low roar, the helicopter flew over the city at a low altitude. Below were the bright lights of thousands of homes, and every road was a glowing river. The crimson Mazda was running so fast that it passed through the heavy traffic and crowds like a flame, as if there really was a girl in the Nantu waiting for it to save her.

Banxia was hiding in Building A of the New Century Plaza opposite the South Library. After discovering Big Eyes, she immediately got into the building. However, she didn't know where Big Eyes was at the moment. Big Eyes might appear from any place and any direction. The enemy was in the dark and we were in the light. The command center advised her not to act rashly, to hide herself first, and then wait and see what happened.
She thought that Big Eyes had discovered her. There was no evidence. It was just what her intuition told her. The moment she saw Big Eyes, she felt like she was being stared at again. Her whole body stiffened and her mind went blank.
There was complete silence all around, not a sound could be heard, and it was pitch black, so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of you.
There was no sound of wind, and it was so quiet that even her own breathing and heartbeat could be heard. Banxia temporarily turned off the radio and maintained radio silence.
The command center warned her not to be rash under any circumstances, and to hide for an extra hour or two, or even until tomorrow morning or tomorrow night.
Based on the activity patterns of the big eyes observed so far, it will not stay in the same location for a long time. If it cannot find its target in the Nantu area, it will patrol to other places.
So Banxia hid in the building, curled up under the counter, turned off the walkie-talkie and waited.
Suddenly, fine dust fell on my face.
The girl opened her eyes and she knew something was there, something that caused an imperceptible vibration.
Soon even she could feel the vibration. The subtle vibration was transmitted along the ground. The girl pressed against the smooth marble floor and heard a "click, click" sound. The sound became louder and louder. In the end, Banxia could hear the movement without pressing against the ground.
She lay on her back, and through the wooden counter above her head, the layers of bricks, glass, reinforced concrete, and the dark void, Banxia could see that thing lying right above her head.
